POwderly,s Threat.

NEW YORK, July s.-Powderly's re-
ported announcement that he will re-
sign his office as general master work
man of the Knights of Labor at the
next meeting of the general assembly
in October instead of waiting until
1888 when his term expires, has a ia
miliar sound to the knights. John
Morrison, master workman of the car
pet workers, expelled district 1875, said
yesterday: One of the first things L
heard when came into the order was
that Powderly was going to resign and
he has been resigning upon every crit
ical juncture. John Swinton said: AS
long as can remember Powderly has
been resigning. The trouble is the job
is too big for him. SwintOn thought
that NJ. Wheat of Iowa was good man
for Powderly's shoes, but there seems
to be some technical objections to him.
He has not been elected delegate to a
general assembly heretofore.

FuIl OF sluGs.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July s.-A special
from Topeka, Kansas, says: Some
time ago dispute arose between Wea-
ron J. Carman, resident of Harper
county, and two neighboTs named
Woodruff. The latter contested Car
mans claim to land near Meade Cen
ter on the ground that he had broken
a fractional part of an acre less than
the law required to make his title clear.
The courts sustained Carman, and he
returned to his farm and continued the
care of his crops. Yesterday the Wood
rufus tried to drive him from his corn
patch and he refused to go. Old man
Woodruff thereupon took aim at him
with shotgun, but before he pulled
the trigger Carman knocked the muZ-
Zle up, the charge tearing away part of
his scalp. In the fight that ensued
Carman worsted the old man, and
young Woodruff came to the rescue,
firing two loads of slugs into Carman's
body from double barrelled shotgun,
inflicting wounds from which Carman
died. The assailantS were arrested.

LOOMING CARNEGIE.
EDINBURG, July S.-The freedom of
the city was conferred upon Andrew
Carnegie to-day, on his gift to the city
of $3.50, 600 to provide public libra ry.
The ceremony took place in the Coun-
Gil Chambers. James G.. Blaine was
invited to be present, and went to the
City Hall and attempted to make his
way in. The Chamber approaches,
however, were so crowded with people
that he was unable to force his way
through and was compelled to abandon
the attempt.
SCOTCIIAIEN INDIGNANT.
EDINBURGH, July S.-There is a
| over the failure of Mr.. Blaine to gain
admission to the Council Chamber to-
day during the presentation of the
| freedom of the city to Andrew Car
negie. Blaine and Senator Hale ar
rived half an hour late. All the ap-
proacheS to the Council Chamber were
| crowded, and the visitors had a hard
| time reaching the chamber door. When
they got there they found that they
| were without tickets. The janitor
| didn't know them and would not pass
them in. Carnegie was at that time
delivering his address. Blaine sent a
message to the Provost stating the
situation. The Provost waited until
Carnegie had finished his address be-
| fore sending orders for the admission
of the distinguished Americans. BY
| this time both Blaine and Hale had be-
| come disguised and retired. MIR.
| Carnegie, when he learned what had
| happened, became very angry and
would scarcely listen to the Provost's
/ apologies.

OPINIONS on the working OF the
new interstate commerce law have
been obtained by Bradstreets from
1900 different manufacturers and
shippers In thirty four different
cities. These interviews indicate
that the excitement about, and to
some extent the opposition to, the
law are subsiding. AS its workings
come to be understood it is seen
that shippers were more scared than
hurt at the time the bill went into
effect. Bradstreet's investigation
seems to show that as the public
becomes accustomed to the law and
Its effects 1t IS found to be less dan
gerous and obnoxious to the busl-
ness interests than at first supposed.

MOnteagle Assembly and sum
mer Schools.

The announcement Of the Mont
eagle Summer Schools, for the sea
son of 1887, July 10th to August
18th, shows that arrangements have
been made for nineteen schools, in
Guiding more than forty different
subjects of study, to be taught by
about thirty instructors. Besides this,
there are three courses OF lectures on
educational subject, intended especi
ally for the members of the schools,
and a series of educational confer
ences on important subjects.
The Assembly programme runs
contemporaneously with the schools.
The Ii o'clock hour and the evenings
are given TO It's lectures and enter
tainments, and at these hours there
are no school exercises. To all
these the pupils of the schools have
free admission.
The schools are under the manage
ment of an Executive Committee, of
which Prof. j. !. d. Kinds, of Leb-
anon, Tenn, is chairman, and DIR.
VIM. Baskeryll., and Prof. A. d.
Wharton, both of Nashville, Tenn,
are the other members. Those de-
string further Information may adj.
dress either Of these gentlemen.
The following, quotation from the
school circular will give an idea of
the object Of the enterprise:
These Schools offer to teachers and
intellectual people place where they
can spend the heated term of each
year, combining study with rest
and recreation in delightful and in.
expensive mountain resort, free from
all social dissipation. Each depart
ment is in the hands of specialist,
and the work of the Schools is of
the highest order. The scope Of the
Schools will be extended, and new
subjects will be added as fast as tie
means at the command OF the COM
mIttee will permit.
The Schools have a double pur-
pose: /. First the training of teach
ers. Each class is intended to be
model one, not only imparting in
struction, but also illustrating the
best methods of teaching. 2. The
giving Of higher instruction and of
fering the pupils facilities which are
not within their reach at home. This
end is attained partly by general
class work, and by private instruc-
tion.

Garland and the Supreme Bench

Justice Wood was appointed to the
supreme bench from the south, and
the belief Is current in Washington
that the place will be given one Of
the southern states. Judge Hoadly
of Ohio, is counted probability
should the appointment go north
But, according to the Washington
correspondent Of the st. Louis Re
publican:
There is a general impression that
Attorney General Garland can have
the appointment II he wishes it.
Some doubt is felt on the point OF
Garland's wishes. Three years ago
it was generally understood seat on
the supreme bench was his great
ambition. Lately he has exposed
himself so strongly in favor of a
complete retirement from public life
when his term Of attorney general
expires that no one is sure he would
take the position even il pressed up
on him. That he should be prompt
ly confirmed by the senate is ad
mitted by everyone, but it is known
his recent experiences have given
him . great distaste for public life.
Whether he would so far shrink from
the personal vilification his appoint
ment would provoke from certain
quarters as to refuse it is the ques-
ton. A friend who spoke to him
this week about the matter could get
no statement from him, except that
he had no idea or expectation the ap-
pointment would be rendered him in
the event Of Justice Woods death.
1t is we'll known that Mr.. Garland
is in high favor with the President,
and is popular with the senators re-
CARELESS of party lines. AS suggest
ed by prominent republican sena-
tor, who recently spoke of the attor-
ney general in connection with the
supreme bench. his nomination
would doubtless be confirmed with
out reference to committee. Ga.
